An Abundance Of Katherines by John Green | A Review
An Abundance Of Katherines is much like all of John Green's other books; amazing and real to life. This book touches on breakups and being broken up with and how much it sucks, especially if you're a chronic dumpee. Or so you think.
The main character in this book feels the need to matter in life; to amount to something. I'm positive a lot of people feel this way or something similar. And a lot of people think that mattering in life works out to fame or making a difference in the world or some form of success. But that's not the case, and this book shows that by mattering to someone you care about, that it's just as satisfying.
One thing that definitely stands out about Abundance is the starred notes at the bottom of pages and the graphs throughout the story. I enjoyed the notes at the bottom of the pages, as those prevent not knowing what's being talked about, and run-on sentences. But I wasn't quite feeling the graphs. Although that could just be me and my poor understanding of math.
Best of all, the ending isn't something you'd expect.
"I will get forgotten, but the stories will last. And so we all matter - maybe less than a lot, but always more than none."
